The Tigers landed their fifth verbal pledge in the last 12 days Monday when Greenville (Ala.) defensive lineman Kenneth Carter said he planned to sign with Auburn.

The 6-foot-5, 270-pounder is Auburn's 14th commitment in the 2010 class. Carter chose the Tigers after narrowing down his list to Auburn, Alabama, Kentucky and Ole Miss. He announced his decision at a ceremony at his school.

"I love it at Auburn," Carter said. "It feels like my second home. It's like Greenville with a little more to do.

"I love the town, the campus, and especially the coaches. I just felt like Auburn is the best place for me."
